February 2010 Parker of the Month...
 

Hi All...!

Well - last months entry of photographs was nothing less than outstanding!!! so, here we go again!!!! It's time for the submitting pictures for the February 2010 Parker of the Month - all who are registered to the Parker Forums are encouraged to participate.. Until later this month (January, if my calendar is correct ;) ), please post your pictures in this thread (and only this thread!). I will close this thread on or about January 25th - and post a new POLL so folks can vote on their favorite "Parker of the Month". At the end of the poll - the winning picture will be shown here:

http://parkerguns.org and be reserved for the month of January 2010 when (if??) we do a Parker Calendar.

The Ground rules are simple.....

Please post up to FIVE of YOUR (sorry - they MUST BE YOUR PHOTOS!) pictures in this thread.

We encourage you to enter even if you only have one photo that you like, as folks will be looking for "that Parker Quailty" that defines "Why we do this", so that one photo could be a winning photo. Those my be of a Parker, hunting scene with a Parker, still-life or even an action shot.

Members may comment on the photo entries in the photo contest thread and leave nice comments about other images in the thread if you feel the urge to do so. BUT - please do not post any photos in this thread that are not intended to be entries. Pictures NOT posted as entries will be deleted from the thread.....

Editing rule: Altered Images—Photographs manipulated for artistic purposes by applying digital and/or traditional special effects (i.e. hand coloring, toning, bleaching, collage and photo composites, etc.) are accepted. In short - "show us what you got" - BUT - the Parker Shotgun must remain "as is" (sorry, you can't make your Trojan an "A-1" with photoshop, if you know what I mean )

Occasionally, some member(s) or organization(s) may donate prizes for the monthly contest. These will be announced in the appropriate month's thread (as above). If you know a business that would like to participate - please have them contact me directly.

All votes and prize winners will be final - SO WAIT UNTIL THE VOTING THREAD to "express your opinion "I'll vote for that" ""

By entering, participants grant permission for their winning photos to be used as an main photo on the PGCA Website, Calendar (with attribution - of course) and maybe other areas of the PGCA site....

Good luck..!

Here is a picture from a recent trip to the Texas coast that my Father and I took for ducks. Pictured are my Great Grandfather's VH (he was a market hunter on the Delaware bay) and my DH.

Donald,
Wow! I'm afraid you'll scare off all of the competition with that photo.

Very Nice

Donald: Very nice image.

Here's a favorite of a family gun. The stock repair was needed after my Dad blew it off while hunting. Forutnately, he was wearing shooter's glasses but did get some splinters embedded into his hand. Not sure why that happened but I know the action was quite loose when I got it back in the late '70's and I had it tightened up before I would continue using it.

Michigan River Hunting
 

9 degrees when I left the truck at 7am and 9 degrees when I got back into it at nearly 11am. Not a bird shot...just time with the chessie. Lots of ice flowing down the river which is tough on the decoys.

A cold February morning on a playa lake in the Texas Panhandle. Top lever hammer Parker is a plain 10 gauge on a 2 frame with
original 28" barrels. Though it's a "brown" condition gun it is still doing what it was made for--and with class.

Favorite duck gun. A go-to Parker. Tough on ducks.
